As if it's not hilarious enough that pictures of Kurt Cobain flood Google image searches on lithium,the name of this picture, originally used on a university webpage about the usage of lithiumas a pharmaceutical, simply names this picture 'Lithium Guy', seemingly unawarethat this 'Lithium Guy' is, in fact, the most famous user of lithium. Ever.

I guess I've burned some bridges with my previous stints with the shiny, new anti-depressants like Celexa, Cymbalta, Lexapro and Zoloft.

Now I get stuck with the mood stabilizer from the 1800s.

Not only was it popular in the 19th century, but it was one of the primary ingredients in'Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda', more commonly known as 7 Up

I've tried a million a those too. Not lithium tho. But wellbutrin is my favorite. Not that it gets me high or anything like that. it just works the best for me. Helps me not ocd myself out the door. I didn't have any side effects, except once when I forgot to take it for 3 days in a row, I kept crying so then I was like "oh ya, I need to remember to take my medicine". According to my doc, it is the easiest to get off of.

SO ya, I totally recommend giving that one a try if you're in the market for that type of stuff. You can just ask your regular doctor "hay I wanna try this out", you don't have to convince your psych doc.
